Hmmm, this thread is slightly annoying. Let's get some facts straight

1. Gamestop is the market leader in US videogame sales accounting for 25-30% of all sales.

2. NPD data for April does seem too low based on everything I know (which is a lot).

3. Having said that, inferring anything from what gamestop says is clutching at straws since they may have doubled in sales whereas all other stores could have stayed flat - not the case, but just to make the point that taking one retailer isn't a good way of making an argument for the whole market.

End of conversation.

Doh, I really didn't think they were that high although if you facture software and used games it kinda does make sense....

I agree with you Ioi my argument was a clutch, it just seems unlikely that the market as a whole would have behaved differently from the market leader....



PS3-Xbox360 gap : 1.5 millions and going up in PS3 favor !

PS3-Wii gap : 20 millions and going down !
